- Description:
- Bridge across Mississippi River in background. This is Beale Street industry track and team track. A constant lookout is imperative on account of frequent pedestrian and automobile traffic. Trucks block vision and hamper movements at all times. Note how the lead is cut into the main line going north. All these movements are on the fireman's side, even when fouling the main line.
